Water Walkers are small dragons that are frequently found around bogs and ponds. While they are flightless, they retain the flight sacs and hollow bones of their airborne cousins. These traits, coupled with their extraordinarily long, webbed toes, allow them to stand on top of calm waters, using their small sails to propel them wherever they please. They spend the majority of their lives on the water, retreating to the tops of lily pads when the waters become too rough to float atop.

Dragons are highly-intelligent reptilian creatures that—from a human perspective, at least—appear to live forever. Many different varieties of dragon exist, each with their own unique qualities, habitats, and behavior. Adolescence in dragons is usually marked by the growth of a hatchling’s wings, although not all breeds of dragons grow wings and some breeds have other traits that indicate the beginning of maturation. In Galsreim, dragons and humans coexist peacefully.

Tobi likes to make a big deal out of his everyday lunch. He lives in a pond covered in water lilies, and will make use of the lily pads to act as floating dishes. Each morning, he will spend a few hours scavenging for different aquatic plants and roots, in addition to a fish or two if he feels like it. He will travel back and forth to his little picnic area and stack the food on different lily pads. When afternoon arrives, Tobi happily sits down to a sort of rotating buffet of treats, paddling at the water to reach different "dishes" as they float around on the lily pads. He enjoys inviting other dragons to have lunch with him in the same manner, as long as, of course, they bring their own contribution to the spread.
